Tom Holland and Zendaya show off their affection for one another during a stroll in London

Tom Holland and Zendaya packed on the PDA in a rare loved-up appearance together during a stroll in London on Sunday.

The Spider-Man actor and the American actress, both 27, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they got some fresh air.

They were seen walking through a west London park with two bodyguards as Zendaya cosied up to him and he put his arm around her.

He later sweetly kissed her hand as they spent some quality time together on the romantic but low-key outing.

At one point the couple were greeting by an excitable dog and petted him before he ran off again with his owner.

Zendaya cut a casual figure in an ab-flashing grey cropped jumper and simple black trousers.

She accessorised her look with an over-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton handbag and wore her dark tresses in her curly style.

Meanwhile Tom wore looked relaxed in a pair of green chinos and a black jumper.

Earlier this summer Tom revealed the reason he keeps his relationship with girlfriend Zendaya so private.

The actor gave a rare insight into his love life in July as he said his bond with the star is the ‘thing he keeps most sacred’.

Tom and Zendaya have kept their romance low-key since they were first linked in 2017 after starring opposite one another in the Spider-Man franchise.

He said on Jay Shetty’s podcast: ‘My relationship is the thing I keep most sacred. I don’t talk about it.

‘I try my best to keep it as private as possible.

‘We both feel like that is the healthiest way for us to move on as a couple, so I do try to keep as removed from Hollywood as possible.’

It came just after Tom gushed over his romance with Zendaya and told how he is ‘lucky’ to have her in his life.

He sweetly described their relationship as ‘worth its weight in gold’ as he spoke about how they can share their life and work experiences with each other.

Speaking on the SmartLess podcast, he gushed: ‘I’m lucky that I have someone like Zendaya in my life.’

‘It’s interesting being in a romantic relationship with someone that is in the same boat as you,’ he went on, according to Entertainment Tonight.

‘You can share your experiences and all that sort of stuff. And that’s worth its weight in gold.’

And the pair sent fans wild this summer when they were spotted serenading each other at Beyonce’s concert in Warsaw in an adorable moment caught on camera.

As Beyonce belted out her hit single, Love On Top, the lovebirds couldn’t resist singing along, pointing and dancing at one another.

In June last year, Zendaya put an end to rumours that she was pregnant with her first child, after a TikTok prank went viral.

The video featured a fake sonogram photo that was photoshopped to look as if the Primetime Emmy Award winner had posted it herself.

The star took to her Instagram Stories to set the story straight, complaining that people are ‘just making stuff up for no reason’.

Last June, Zendaya also gushed over her boyfriend Tom in a special birthday message for the Spider-Man star shared to her Instagram.

To celebrate the actor turning 26, she posted a classic black and white snap of the pair embracing together, with a touching caption underneath.

‘Happiest of birthdays to the one who makes me the happiest,’ she wrote with a heart symbol.

Less than an hour later, Tom responded to the post leaving three heart emojis below it.

The stars met when they were cast in the Spider-Man reboot, with Tom landing the role of Peter Parker/Spiderman, while Zendaya got the role of his love interest MJ.

Fans long suspected that Tom and Zendaya were in a relationship but their theories were confirmed when the pair were caught kissing in mid-2021.

Zendaya made it clear that the couple were not dating in August 2017, calling Tom one of her ‘best friends’.

‘We are friends. He’s a great dude. He’s literally one of my best friends,’ she said.

Tom then shut down reports that he was dating Zendaya in June 2019, after the couple’s onscreen chemistry made fans hopeful that the sparks were real.

In an interview by Elle, he confirmed that he and the former Disney star are definitely not in a relationship.

He said that while he’s not currently dating anyone, he is ‘definitely a relationship person’.
